IRVINE, Calif. - The Big West is increasing its linear television coverage in 2022-23, adding a slate of 17 men’s and women’s basketball contests to air on Spectrum SportsNet this season.
Building on the success of last year’s ten-game package, this year’s schedule features every Big West men’s basketball team at least once, with four women’s games also added to the television slate. The Spectrum SportsNet package debuts on the opening day of Big West play when the current defending champion Hawai’i women’s squad travels to UC Davis on Thursday, December 29.
Four double-header Saturdays are also on tap, starting on New Year’s Eve with UC Irvine at CSU Bakersfield and UC Riverside at Long Beach State in afternoon affairs. Other double-headers dot the schedule on January 14 and 21, and February 18.
Three game dates – February 11 and 25, and March 4 – will also see a men’s contest on the air on ESPN Networks, as part of
The Big West’s Wildcard coverage. Should ESPN choose a preselected Spectrum SportsNet game, the slot will be filled by a different basketball contest on the schedule. The full 17-game slate set to air
on Spectrum SportsNet is as follows:
